So, after exams everyone goes a little crazy and does all the stuff that you haven't been able to do for weeks. I know after I finished exams last time I got super drunk and pimped some snacks. Well, the kids at our school get to do fun stuff too! And we get to come along!
Three times a year the kids go away on field trips. They have 2 days trips and one overnighter. Saturday was one of their day trips. We all woke up at stupid o'clock (just like a real school trip!) and they piled on a bus (the volunteers caught the train as it meant we got an extra 30 minutes in bed) and headed off to a Water Park! I love water parks! Both the schools do the trips together but only the children who have had good attendence are allowed to go so we had about 50 altogether and I was given 5 of my own to watch over for the day. It was slightly petrifying at , most of them can't swim and my head started swimming with all the disasterous things that can happen when small children are near water, but everything was fine in the end. We all had a brilliant day in the end. Entrance to the park (which was 3 pounds!) also included breakfast, lunch, dinner, chai and all you can eat popcorn and candy floss! Amazing! The kids went a little crazy (understandably, you don't get much all you can eat candy floss living on the streets) but luckily no one threw it all up on the bus home.
The whole water park experience was very bizzare. It was quite small and only had a few slides (half of which were broken) but the ones it had were fun. Then in the afternoon they opened up an amazing massive slide which we were all only allowed to go on 3 times. I went twice and the realised I should probably be looking after children. It was one of the ones where you sit in a rubber ring and go flying round corners - people kept flipping over ands arriving at the bottom underneath their ring... it was a little dangerous I supose. The oddest thing (yet understandable) was that no one wore swim suits. They all went into the water fully clothed. Some of the teachers went paddling around wearing a full on salwar kameez or saris complete with scarf! We all wore shorts and t-shirt. Vikki got a comedy massive whole in her bottom and had to sit down for most of the afternoon. We all got incredibly bad sunburn. The children were amazed by our pink arms and white shoulders they kept poking the burn to see it stay white a while then fade away. We were quite the entertainment!
It was such a brilliant day, so much fun and the kids were ridiculously well behaved so I didn't have to do much work either!
